I got a lot of negative comments twenty years ago (1990) when I started talking to people about IAED at the UN.
Let’s just say some people were skeptical of the notion that there needed to be an International Agency for Economic Development which ran projects for Least Developed and Developing Countries with no debt attached; Just charitable development!

Sixteen years ago nobody would believe we would start the world's first one-hour weekly United Nations Television Broadcasts and Global Webcasts. "INSIDE THE UNITED NATIONS: The Global Issues" Today, fifteen years later it is still the only exclusive un-cut, unedited, and uncensored weekly one-hour UNTV Broadcasts/Webcasts of UN Ambassadors and World Leaders.

Two decades after its founding, with global projects which have changed the course of countries and history by volunteers just like you, there has never been a greater need for the projects which IAED has already proven to help countries. You can be a part of our IAED community. And I’m writing today to ask you to become an active partner in, and protect and sustain IAED.

Together, we can keep it free of charge and free of advertising. We can keep it open – you can use the information from IAED any way you want. We can keep it growing – spreading knowledge everywhere, developing peace through progress, and inviting participation from everyone worldwide.

Each year at this time, we reach out to ask you and others all across the world's countries to help sustain our joint enterprise with a modest donation of $20, $35, $50 or more.

If you value IAED as a truly unique source of information – and a source of inspiration – I hope you’ll choose to act right now.

Sincere best wishes,

Larry Gell
Founder, IAED

P.S. IAED is about the power of people like us to do extraordinary things. People like us conduct IAED projects, one at a time. People like us fund it, one donation at a time. It's proof of our collective potential to change the world. No one has ever taken a salary from IAED since its founding in 1990.
